[Verse 1]
When I saw you in the sun, you were as pretty as the burning moon.
You've got a cold, cold, cold, cold heart.
You've got a cold, cold, cold, cold heart.
I want to drop you off in space, nobody can hear you scream.
I want to take you piece by piece, and see the disease.
You've got a cold, cold, cold, cold heart.
You've got a cold, cold, cold, cold heart.
I said "I'd die for you, if you don't kill me while I'm with you, baby."
[Chorus]
LET ME SHOW YOU MY PLACE IN THE DIRT!
LET ME SHOW YOU MY PLACE IN THE DIRT!
LET ME SHOW YOU MY PLACE IN THE DIRT!
LET ME SHOW YOU MY PLACE IN THE DIRT!
There's more than one way to make you hate me.
[Verse 2]
When I saw you on the moon, you were as pretty as the coldest sun.
When I saw you in the night, you shined as bright as the darkest love.
You've got a cold, cold, cold, cold heart.
You've got a cold, cold, cold, cold heart.
One of us had a knife.
One of us was right, it was me.
[Chorus]
LET ME SHOW YOU MY PLACE IN THE DIRT!
LET ME SHOW YOU MY PLACE IN THE DIRT!
LET ME SHOW YOU MY PLACE IN THE DIRT!
LET ME SHOW YOU MY PLACE IN THE DIRT!
There's more than one way to make you hate me.
LET ME SHOW YOU MY PLACE IN THE DIRT!
LET ME SHOW YOU MY PLACE IN THE DIRT!
LET ME SHOW YOU MY PLACE IN THE DIRT!
LET ME SHOW YOU MY PLACE IN THE DIRT!
There's more than one way to make you hate me.
"Pretty'' is a form of twisted love song. The lyrics are contradicting on purpose, as it shows how toxic the relationship is and how easy it is to often force yourself to love someone just because they stay with you, when in reality, you are terrible for each other."
LYRICS BREAKDOWN:
"I want to drop you off in space, nobody can hear you scream." (This is obviously a reference to the tagline of the movie "Alien".)
